FT Patch Error?
ShortyBoo:
Ok, I downloaded the patch this morning and just now got around to installing it. Anyway, I clicked on the thing to install it, and at first it seemed to be installing fine, but when it was done, instead of saying my game was now updated or whatever it said "Error during update installation. You may need to uninstall and reinstall The Sims 2 FreeTime. Please make sure you backup your saved games first." If I try it again, the same thing happens. WTF? It's supposed to be fixing the game and instead it tells me to reinstall the game. Are they serious? >:( I don't want to reinstall again. Yes, I just made a new backup yesterday, but my Sims 2 folder is around 8 GB and it takes forever to copy so I usually tell it to copy before I go to bed and when I wake up, it's done. Is reinstalling really necessary, because it doesn't seem like the patch installed at all since when I try it again, it still tries to update all the same files and it doesn't say it's up to date.

Two things to check:
1) are you using a no-cd crack? you have to put the original .exe back first, then run the patch.
2) have you made objects.package read-only? Make it writable, and try again.
ShortyBoo:
Nope. I have a legit copy of the game and I've always used the CDs to play and I haven't touched any of the files it updates. But I just checked and they're not read only, so that's not it. And I just popped into the official BBS (I try to avoid that place normally) but it seems lots of people are having either this problem or other problems after patching the game.
jsalemi:
Does it give any indication of the file it's failing on? Usually it'll pop up a message about not being able to update a particular file (though it may go by fast), and then you can just try replacing that file off the CD.

Umm, many if not most of us here have legit copies, and still use the no-cd crack so we don't get the SecuROM crap on our computers. Using a no-cd .exe just means you don't have to have the CD loaded to play.
ShortyBoo:
No, there's no pop-up or anything else. It seems like it works normal until the last file finishes updating, then there's a pause and the error comes up.
